Video premiere: Tindersticks - Black Smoke

A special treat for all of you. Tindersticks just released a new video for the song Black Smoke. Stylish, as we would come to expect, this was shot in Le Chien Chanceux by Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth, who have also worked with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds on a couple of videos (Midnight Man, Dig Lazarus, Dig)...

We'll be back this saturday + some show history

...thank you for your patience and understanding. Playlist for saturday's show will be up next sunday...

In the meantime, if you feel like having a bit of a laugh, you can check out our - really - old webspace right here. Built from scratch in pretty basic html early 2000, 2001 we would guess. That site has not been updated in about seven years. There's a few older playlists there. It is nice to see how the show developed in what it is today. You can also find some - text - interviews, pictures and links to a Cro-Mags fanpage which our host Miguel (a HUGE fan of this legendary hardcoreband from New York) built. Almost forgot to mention the - almost - complete Sam Kieth bibliography. You don't know who that is? Shame on you, one of the best comic book artists ever. Anyway, since Miguel forgot his login-stuff, he can't delete the page, so he thought it would be fun to share this Tegentonen -1.0 with all of you. Nice to see he decided to keep things concise this time around...

Our second show this year and a weird one it was. Besides a few new tunes by Tindersticks and Das Racist, we played a lot of Jay Reatard-material. As you probably know, Jay died last wednesday. Our way of paying hommage to this guy's material? Well, we did something we haven't done before in the 12 year history of the show: we played an entire record from start to finish. In this case: Jay Reatard's Blood Visions. Oh, and check the playlist for a link to Reatard's version of Nirvana's Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle, probably one of the last things he recorded.

Jay Reatard RIP

All of us here at Tegentonen are shocked by the death of Jay Reatard, who died in his home in Memphis, Tennessee today. He was only 29 years old.

To honour the guy's music which is nothing short of awesome, this saturday we'll be playing the entire Blood Visions-album on our show. RIP!

Happy new year to all. Tonight was the first show in the new year. We started off looking back on some sad passings in the last days of 2009: The Birthday Party's Rowland S. Howard and Vic Chesnutt. And we looked forward to 2010. The new year was literally just a few hours old, when Chris Cornell announced that Soundgarden would be reuniting after a 12 year absence. Furthermore, we played some classics from My Bloody Valentine, Massive Attack and a brand new track by Tindersticks.

First off, an apology: since we were doing our Christmas shopping in London last week, Tegentonen unfortunately got cancelled. No playlist for last week. Because of the incredibly shitty weather in Holland right now, we almost had to cancel this week's show as well. Since it would be the last episode of 2009 our friendly host Miguel Thannhauser made an effort to get to the studio in one piece to play you the best music 2009 had to offer. And there was a lot of it... Thank God he made it!
